A Favor and a Promise
One of the readers of this humble blog sent me an email telling me about a contest I should enter. Apparently TheBump.com (the baby website by The Knot people) is looking for top mommy blogger websites. While I absolutely abhor the title “Mommy Blogger” (hang on, I have to go throw up…), the contest comes with great exposure and a prize of $1,000!! Holla!!
So.
I’m reaching out to you, my dear friends, and asking you to please nominate me in the WORKING MOM BLOG category for the following reasons.
1. You read my blog.
2. You have nothing better to do and/or you feel sorry for me because I have nothing better to do.
3. If I win the $1,000 prize, I will giveaway TWO iPod Nanos on my blog with prize money. That’s right. I’m bribing you.
4. If you nominate me and leave a comment on this post with your blog, I’ll nominate you right back. Just like high school SGA.
So, that’s my plea. I’m glad we can be straight-up with each other, Imaginary Blog Friends.

How about I’ll nominate you because I love reading your blog? I’m not a “mommy blogger” (yet) but reading your blog is one of the highlights of my day. (Maybe I shouldn’t admit that. I swear I have a life outside the internet.) Good luck!
Katie
Don’t worry. One of the highlights of MY day is reading the comments. We can be nerds together! Thanks for the nomination!
Katrina
I nominated you =) Good luck!
Katie
THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!!!
Camille
I would love to nominate you, but I don’t think it’s a very smart idea to nominate other people back, because COMPETITION! Plus, I’m not a mommy so I can’t be a mommy blogger so I wouldn’t qualify.
Katie
Way to be strategic, Camille. If I ever run for office, you’re my girl. (Thanks for the nomination!)
Natalie
I recently stumbled upon your blog and I absolutely am in love with it! I nominated you!! Best of luck!! =)
Katie
Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!!
Kristin
Nominated you! WOOHOO.
Katie
Thanks, chica!
Dana Key
Done. You are nominated! And if you do go along with the whole nominating those who nominated you, I would be no competition to you. I would fall into the SAHM category!
Katie
Just nominated you!!
Sarah
Stupid question but how do we nominate you? I ask and blame the fact I just worked all night and my brain is shutting down
Katie
Just click the link above in the post (the picture). It will take you to the nomination page. You’ll have to sign up (so annoying) first, but then you can nominate away! Thanks for the support!!! NOW GET SOME SLEEP!! – Katie
Sarah
you are nominated! and im just waiting on 0700. too many sick kids admitted tonight
Casey
I don’t have a mommy blog (yet… working on that one!) but I will definitely nominate you, cause you are my favorite!!!
Katie
Thanks, Casey! Have fun “working on it”! (was that too much? did I take it too far? was I inappropriate? I never know…)
Maria
I nominated you! Good luck!
Katie
That is so darn nice of you! Thank you!
Laura
I nominated you in the working mommy category! You can nominate me in the crafty mommy category! 🙂
Katie
Just nominated you and I’m jealous that you get to be in the crafty section. I am so un-crafty its not even funny!!! – Katie
Morgan

Julia

Katie

Carey
You make me laugh. Even at 50 you remind me of me when I was your age. Keep telling everyone how it really is!
Katie
Don’t you find that when you tell it like it is, you just feel lighter? Carrying around an image is so HEAVY! Bare and bold, baby. Bare and bold.
Melissa
Looks like you hava good chance at wining. I hope that everyone continues to vote for You YOU YOU. Your a great imaginary blogger friend.
Katie
Thank you! My fingers are crossed!
Jenn
I am heading over to nominate you now. My baby is a black lab, so I am not sure that qualifies me as a mom blogger.
Katie
I would TOTALLY count that in the Mommy Blog category if they’d let me! My two dogs are like my first and second children!
Tina
I’m not a mommy blogger yet. But I love your blogs!!!
I nominated you!
Tina
I’m not a mommy blogger yet, but I’m nominating you!!
I love reading your blog ;] It gets me excited for when my hubby and I decide to have a bean all our own! 😀
Katie
Beans all around! I love it! Thanks for the nomination, too!
Jeska
Done!
Katie
Gracias.
Jayme
I nominated you. I love reading your blog. Very well written followed with adorable pictures of one cute little bean!
Katie
Thank you so much!! I’m working on the pictures and trying to get better at them. If Beanie would just HOLD STILL they’d be a lot better!!
Laura
I’m just about to go off and nominate you!
I just recently checked out your twitters, and you asked if anyone would want to read a bookclub blog. The answer from me is definitely yes…but I don’t have a twitter account, so I can’t tweet you to tell you that!
🙂
Katie
Thanks for the nomination and the book club feedback. I have been tossing around the book club idea, but I’m not sure if I have to sanity to manage another blog. We’ll see how it goes… and how much coffee it will take! 🙂
Laura
I just nominated you! You really deserve it. I love how your blog is full of humor and real life stories. Plus, you deserve 1,000 dollars for holding down 3 full time jobs- marriage, bean, and your actual job. I’m not a mommy (yet) so don’t worry about nominating me back.
Katie
Thank you so much! I really appreciate those kind words (and the nomination!).
naomi
I’ll nominate you for sure. But no need to nominate my blog – it’s not a mommy blog.
Kate
Yes! I just nominated you (although I was clearly not the first).
Do you want to nominate mine too? No competition — mine’s in the fertility category.

Thank you!
Katie
Thanks for the nomination! I just nominated you for fertility blog. Glad we could help each other out!! 🙂
Maureen
I hate to be a lame-a$$, but I hate registering for websites. However, I do love the blog and I’m rooting for you to win! Good vibes, while not a nomination, should count for something, right?
Katie
You aren’t lame. I thought the same exact thing!! Why do people make you do that?!?!? I’ll take the cheerleading instead! 🙂
Bridget
Katie,
I’m not a “mommy-blogger” or a mommy, but I LOVE your site. I nominated you on thebump.com
my site is http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/nikesf09/bemahone
Stephanie
I nominated you. 🙂
TeamHaynes
I nominated you, but please don’t nominate me 🙂 That would be really awkward. People would be like…um. Where’s her baby? Haha. I will be so happy if you win because so many other mommies are so boring! That’s probably really mean but it’s true! You make me laugh so you got my vote!
Maybe if you win you can suggest another avitar for people without kids? I’m years away from kids but for some reason they gave me a faceless woman with a belly…ok then.
